PICTURE OR REPRESENTATION OF OBJECTS IN RELIEF.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 27, 1917.

Application filed November 9, 1915. Serial No. 60,624.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it kno-wn that I, GUsTAvE TUCK, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at the city of London, England, have invented new and useful improvements in or in connection with pictures or representations of objects in relief suitable for use as or in connection with childrens picture or other books, advertisements, calendars, toys, show-cards, and other purposes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to pictures or representations of objects in relief and has for one of its objects the provision of'rpictures or representations of objects .in relief specially suitable for use as or in connection with childrens picture and other books, advertisements, calendars, toys, showcards and other purposes. In connection with embossed photographs or the like it has been proposed to secure the embossed photograph or the like to a suitable mount and for the purpose of preventing the embossing from sinking in, to insert wadding or other packingbetween the embossed photograph and the mount.

lThe invention will now be described with refe-rence to the accompanying drawings which are more or less diagrammatic.

Figures 1, and 2, are cross sections of relief pictures or representations, constructed in accordance with this invention.

In the construction illustrated the base 1 of soft and pliable material is secured along its edges to a carrier 2 of a suitable size and shape and'cut or not to correspond with the outline of the base, and there is placed between the base and carrier, packing or padding material 3 which is so dis- Copies of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, 'by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, u

posed and arranged as to give the required amount of relief. rllhe carrier may be attached to a secondary carrier 4 which may comprise a sheet of card mill or other board, and form part of, for example, a showcard, calendar, book cover. In'some cases the carrier (first or second) may have a lining or covering provided with a suitable opening or openings, the edges of the opening or openings extending over the edges of the base and protecting the same.

Fig. 1 illustrates a construction in which the carrier 2 has a lining or covering 5. The base 1 is mounted on the carrier 2 and the edges of the base 1 are protected by the lining or covering 5. The whole is then mounted on the secondary carrier 4. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2 the base (1) and the beaded lining or reinforced covering (5) are mounted directly on the secondary carrier In connection with books it is important that the inner surface of the book cover be perfectly fiat. This requirement is fulfilled in book covers constructed in accordance with this invention.

What I claim is In combination, a base to conform substantially with the outline of a representation, a carrier for said base with the edges of said base attached to the carrier in a continued flatwise direction, the intervening space between the base and carrier filled with padding material to give the required relief, and a beaded lining reinforced at the outline edge for attaching the edges of the base to the carrier.

Dated this 21st day of October, 1915.
